A Spanish theologian, born at the Castle of Peflaforte. in Catalonia, and edu- cated at Barcelona and Bologna. On his return to Spain he became canon of Barcelona (1219), then archdeacon, and in 1222 a member of the Dominican Order, of which he was made General in 1238.

He was born in Barcelona, taught theologj', ])hilosophy, and medi- cine at Toulouse (1430-32), and died as rector of the university there. His fame rests upon his nat- ural theology, which he wrote in Spanish, but which appeared in a Latin translation after his death, and has been widely circulated (latest edition, Sulzbaeh, 1852). Montaigne translated it into French (Paris, 1569; latest edition, 1605). This famous book employs the expres- sion now so familiar that there are two books by which the truth can be known: the book of Xature and the book of Revelation. The essen- tial contents of these two books are the same. The difference is that in the latter truth is given dogmatically in the shape of precept, whereas in the former truth is arrived at hy means of investigation and ratiocination. He even endeavors to demonstrate that the book of Nature contains evidence of the divine mysteries of Christianity. His assertion in his prologue that although reason unaided by revelation could not discover these mysteries, yet, given these mysteries, reason was competent to explain them, caused this prologue to be put upon the index by the Council of Trent, and so it is not given in the edition of 1852. He was a mystic of the school of Raymond Lully.

RAYNAL, ra'nal', Guillaume TnoMAS FKAN901S (1713-96). A French author. He was born at Saint-Geniez, and was educated for the priesthood with the Jesuits of Pezenas. In 1747 he went to Paris, and was attached to the Church of Saint Sulpice. His peculiarities soon led him out of the Church, and he became one of the editors of the Jlercure de France, where his philosophic mind found associates and scope, and his taste for history made him an historian. His works, though not now of high value, were con- spicuous in their time, when philosophy and literary independence were novelties. Among them was Histoire philosophique et politique des ^tablissements et du commerce des Europeens dans les deux Indes (1770), which contained writings of Diderot as well as Raynal, and fell under the condemnation of the Parliament in 1781. His Revolution d'Amcriquc appeared in an English translation in London (1781), and was severely criticised by Thomas Paine. RAYNOtTARD, ra'noo'ar', F^AXgois Juste Maeie (1761-1836).
